Khövsgöl Nuur
Lake Khövsgöl ((モンゴル語:Хөвсгөл нуур), ''Khövsgöl nuur'', classic script: ''köbsügül naɣur''), also referred to as ''Khövsgöl dalai'' (, ''Khövsgöl ocean'') or ''Dalai Eej'' (, ''ocean mother'') is the largest fresh water lake in Mongolia by volume, and second largest by area. Khövsgöl Nuur is nicknamed "Younger sister of the Sister Lakes (Lake Khövsgöl and Lake Baikal)".
== Geography ==
Khuvsgul nuur is located in the northwest of Mongolia near the Russian border, at the foot of the eastern Sayan Mountains. It is above sea level, long and deep. It is the second-most voluminous freshwater lake in Asia, and holds almost 70% of Mongolia's fresh water and 0.4% of all the fresh water in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Aquatic Invertebrates of the watershed of Lake Hovsgol in northern Mongolia )〕 The town of Hatgal is at the southern end of the lake.
Its watershed is relatively small, and it only has small tributaries. It is drained at the south end by the Egiin Gol, which connects to the Selenge and ultimately into Lake Baikal. Between the two lakes, the water travels a distance of more than , and falls , although the line-of-sight distance is only about . Its location in northern Mongolia forms one part of the southern border of the great Siberian taiga forest, of which the dominant tree is the Siberian Larch (''Larix sibirica''),
The lake is surrounded by several mountain ranges. The highest mountain is the Bürenkhaan / Mönkh Saridag (), which has its peak north of the lake exactly on the Russian-Mongolian border. The surface of the lake freezes over completely in winter. The ice cover in winter is strong enough to carry heavy trucks; transport routes were installed on its surface as shortcuts to the normal roads. However, this practice is now forbidden to prevent pollution of the lake from both oil leaks and trucks breaking through the ice. It is estimated that 30-40 vehicles have sunk into the lake over the years.
